nice car man looks good as great infact a tad better the mine check mine out

cheers bro, what did you want to know about your amp insallation? have done a few over the years.
well im worryed about the wirering because the guy i got the car off said he got his mate to do it i looked at the wires and there tyed though the speakers and the speaker holes that are cut arent the right size so theye dont sit right and the wiering is just stuffed i think it goes everywere ud really have to look at it to understand what i mean
Looks nice dude i myself would paint the mirrors white and fit an exhaust tip all the best with it.
^^^^^What he said. And consider painting your door handles too. Whitewalls maybe a thought too- you can never have too much white. lol

Thanks for the feedback guys, fnlow1 you better not be steelin my ideas about white walls, i told you that in confidence and now your posting it around willy nilly, what's the go man? not cool!![]()
Yeah that photo was taken a while back, got a little more done than the tip. (see the word doc) But even with that tip it still punched out over 220kw. I say if you got a 2inch system, run a 2 inch tip.![]()

Sweet VS man!
How much did the charger cost? Any strengthened internals to cope with the pressure?
Man it was only about 5 or 6 grand i think, that was with a tuned memcal, bigger injecters and all brackets and pipework. Had to fit it myself but that was pretty straight forward. No internal mods at all and has been reliable so far, which was surprising as i had 200,000 on the clock when i did it!
And thanks Goon had it for 6 years so i am stoked its finally coming together, it is a great drive, and just became even more fun with the install of a button clutch, she is real tail happy now so it will be interesting the first time it rains, can't wait! I used to like driving my mums R33 but she can keep her ricer now!
Very Nice and welcome to the Raptor Family.
221.48rwkw Raptor Supercharged VS Ute latest dyno run as of 04/08/07
Nice ride there bro, first time I have looked
Raptor Superchargers - Boosting S1/S2 3800's, Ecotec's and Alloytec's
yeah it goes ok i guess, the blower is a piece of crap though!
LOL
Cheers Tim
hey mate, havnt been on in a while. you got ur blower intercooled yet? i got some wheels for my car since u saw it last but am thinking on selling the turbo setup and going supercharger. have to catch up for another cruise some time.
Wow i haven't been in this thread in a while, it appears i lost most my info when the site crashed. Nah still don't have the i/c on yet, nearly got everything ready to go i just need to save to afford the tune. So you don't have the ultimate sleeper look anymore, bet it still sleeps pretty well though, what wheels did you get? Selling the turbo hey, why is that? If you join the qld club section @ jcclub.net we aree doing another bwcp cruise soon you should come along, pity you just missed the wivenhoe cruise, that was a good day.
selling turbo cause i always wanted to go supercharger but selected turbo for my uni project. the exhaust is pretty loud i will go a twin system with the blower to keep it quiet. here is a dodgy vid of my car: YouTube - turbo VT
blown ecotec nice![]()
Nice car mate, looks very stylish, and gotta love the Raptor huh. 13 Second Ecotec is impressive dude, 13 point what? Also is that with the mods in the Word Doc, or have you added the cooler and other bits and pieces to get it there?
13's secs for an ecotec isn't bad, im trying to break into the 12's with mine![]()
208rwkw 13.5 @ 102MPHSTROKED AND BLOWN
Thanks guys, always good to get +ive feedback, but the joy of driving it daily gives me plenty of that anyway.
Nah man pretty much same as what's in word doc, all i have added since then is a 70mm T/B and 1.97:1 rockers. It runs a 13.8 but has a 13.5 or better in it, I just couldn't get a decent launch, it's kinda hard with the button clutch to find the balence between enough boost to launch well but not fry the tyres, they were ****ty old 16" street tyres that were only 205 wide. One of the 13.8's was run with 4 rims, a pile of tools, trolley jack etc and full tank of fuel in the car. So I want 13.5 or better from the non I/C unopened version before doing that. I will be running semi slicks on my next outing and have also done some rear suspension work in order to try and get her to launch straight cause she liked to have a nice look at the wall on take off. I am also doing some intake temp reduction mods and maybe a larger 4" intake before my next outing. Got to try and give maniac's stroker a good scare
My goal end is to get well into the high 12's from an unopened engine which i think would be really impressive seeing as how it's 250,000 k's young now
rch-13z yeah they are type R 12's, they go well but they keep rattling my centre rearview clean off the windscreen . Have givven up on having one all together now
Hey mate how much did it cost to get the body kit sprayed to match the colour of your car?
Cheers
